Mr. Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly, I adress you today probably for the last time as the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia.

In bidding you welcome to this, the Special Session of the 30th Parliament of British Columbia, I express the earnest hope that the wise council of my Ministers and the support of the Legislature will remedy some of the emerging and difficult problems in our province today. I desire also, to express at this time on your behalf and that of all British Columbia our good wishes to my successor.

This special session will see the first guaranteed minimum income of $200 per month for senior citizens established anywhere in North America. It is this Government's sincere attempt to pioneer legislation for the senior citizens of this province. Without their energy, dedication and commitment to the province in its early days none of us would be in a position to enjoy our great province as much as we do today. This programme will cost a substantial amount of money. But this wealthy province has the funds available and it is a matter of some urgency that these funds be put into the hands of our senior citizens as a right as quickly as possible.

You will be asked by my government to consider the following bills at this special session of the Legislature.

1. An Act to Amend the Land Registry Act 2. An-Act to Amend the Gift Tax Act

3. Guaranteed Minimum Income Assistance Act 4. Handicapped Persons Income Assistance Act 5. An Act to Amend the Mediation Commission Act 6. An Act to Amend the Male Minimum Wage Act 7. An Act to Amend the Public Schools Act

8. An Act to Amend the Municipal Act

9. Tobacco Advertising Restraint Act Repeal Act 10. Tobacco Products Act

11. An Act to Amend the Government Liquor Act 12. Legislative Procedure and Practice Inquiry Act 13. Special Allowances Reduction Act, 1972

Hon. Members, I leave you now to discharge your legislative duties in the full confidence that your deliberations will be in the best interests of all our citizens, and may divine guidance attend your labours.
